Every day is a good day to eat Curry

Curry-Heute (Curry-today) is about exploration, with a view to experiencing that extra-special moment. Curry-Heute reports the extensive travels of the near mythical Hector who has sought the local Curry House for decades, retaining records consistently since 2010.

One cannot criticise those who are happy to visit their local Curry House every week and order the same dish, enjoy your Curry. For some twenty years Lamb Rogan Josh at the Akash in Helensburgh was all. Since 1995 Hector has undertaken regular visits to Bradford, Yorkshire. That first Bradford Curry was a life changing experience, a new standard was set. In 1996 Mother India opened in Glasgow precipitating a Curry Revolution locally, strangely there are so few visits thereafter. Hector was created and let loose.

Since 2010, Curry-Heute has become recognised in Scotland, throughout the UK, Europe, and beyond as a reliable source of information. Hector, the author of this site, was shortlisted as Curry Lover of The Year 2011, 2012 and 2016 in the Scottish Curry Awards. 2014 left Curry-Heute as Glasgow’s only active Curry Blog.

The International Perspective

Curry in Germany, indeed across Europe, has been well behind the UK for the forty years Hector has visited; new venues and experiences are appearing there. The Indian Mango in München has a South Indian Curry menu and matches anything served in Hector’s favourite Curry houses in the UK. Erlangen intrigues, so many venues in this moderately sized town. Belgium disappointed, whilst Nederland has shown great promise. In Athens, Greece, there are some very impressive outlets, Pak Taka Taka the best discovered to date.

2014 saw the first Italia Curry reviews and the Düsseldorf coverage addressing the imbalance which had previously favoured Köln. 2015 saw the introduction of Morocco, the third North African nation, and a continuation of the extended coverage of Polska. 2016 took me to España, and 2017 to Madeira (Portugal).
